Freedoms Price

Bodies raining down
A nations heart ripped open
Savage flames assail
Tomorrows, lost in ashes
The blade of hate has spoken
The stain of 9/11 will be forever in our hearts. It was the day a vicious wound was inflicted on our nation. We staggered, but did not fall. We survived. We are America.

Excellent poem, Bob. I agree it was a horrendous situation. It was certainly as a result of hate, New York rose to the occasion and supported each other. America survived and we are glad you did. THere were 3000 people lost and some of those lost were Canadian and British, we felt for your pain and we lost lives with you. Well done. Lee

Bob, it really was like a blade of hate cutting into the hearts of people throughout the nation. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so take pride in your achievement. Love, Carolyn
